A young boy just received his driving permit. He asks his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the car.

“I’ll make a deal with you,” said his father. “You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut, and then we’ll talk.”

A month later, the boy comes back and asks his father if they could discuss his use of the car.

“Son, I’m real proud of you. You’ve brought your grades up and you’ve studied your Bible, but you didn’t get your hair cut!”

“You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that. Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair.”

Without batting an eyelash, the father said: “Yes son, and they walked everywhere they went!”
